RAGBRAI XLVII Route: Wednesday, July 24 – Indianola to Centerville

  • 20 March, 2019
  • Jared

Here is the complete route from Indianola to Centerville.  The route now encompasses 84.3 miles with 3,252 feet of climb.  You can add 32.3 miles (116.6 total miles/4,562 feet of climb total if you ride the Karras Loop) by riding the annual optional Karras Loop around Rathbun Lake with a stop at Honey Creek Resort.  For those that wanted a challenge, this year’s Karras Loop will deliver that!

The route has become longer than first projected due to construction projects in the area.

Wednesday is also PeopleforBikes Day!  PeopleforBikes is making riding better for everyone!

    There’s a big day! Not a huge deal, but your graphic is incorrect. It lists the feet of climb the same for both the base route and with the loop on the bottom.

    Can you tell us where the route changed or what the original plan was? It doesn’t really matter, just curious.

    we will get that graphic fixed.. the FOC is correct at 3,252… the image of the climb and the second listing of the 3,252 will get updated… thanks,
